Toadstool after all, right? (:

Finnish = knowledge machine

Ahahahah! This is true for Croatian too. ♥

Dutch: prickly pig

WHAT

French: bald mouse

Chinese: shadow baton and shadow tunnel

Lol so a vegan would be dairy meat denier

Ahahahah! True. Interestingly, the cooked / prepared fish has a completely different Sino-Korean word. (Like the difference between "pig" and "pork" in English)

Aww

Chinese: Sea Female

Danish is worse.

I've always called them sleeping policemen and I'm British English...

The term 'whisky' derives originally from the Gaelic 'uisge beatha', or 'usquebaugh', meaning 'water of life'. Gaelic is the branch of Celtic spoken in the Highlands of Scotland.

In our fairytails is a common quest "go to the midnight side and bring me the water of life". Lots of those are inspired in Germany. Midnight side means North (noon side is South because Sun is on South at noon). In those days to travel to Ireland and get back alive you had to be a badass hero.

Vodka/ Wodka means „small water“ in polish and russian

Same in French.

truly is the water of life

Aqua Vita

Fun fact, the word Whiskey actually comes from 'Uisce', Although you pronounce 'Uisce', ish-ka, if you pronounce it according to English it's more like uiskey, which eventually became Whiskey

Not surprising

Can someone settle this for me? My uncle is from Dingle and all of my cousins have traditional Irish names. One of them is Eilish, which we and her father have always pronounced with a long “e” sound where the second “i” is; “Eye-leesh.” Apparently there’s someone famous with that name now (I’m old and unhip or unlit or something) but everyone is pronouncing it with a short “i” sound as in “dish” or “fish.” Which is correct?

Aqva Vitae

Same in Dutch

wait is this a proverb or an actual word they have?

Well it's true at least

You can say it in German too. It’s either Kartoffel or Erdapfel

Afrikaans: You are still wet behind the ears.

In Irish, it's written "claoaoaoghdghhn nibhmhaoagdh". :D

If you literally translate "pineapple" in French it become "pomme de pin", which translated back in English means "pine cone".

In Croatian we call him either Christmas Grandpa or Frost Grandpa.

Argentina: "Vaquita de San Antonio" (Saint Anthony's little cow).

Reminds me of Obvious Plant funny-fake...e5b958.jpg

Korean: "Oh, f**k! So sudden!" ♥

I can see why German isn't the international language of romance! Nipple isn't much better, though, to be honest!

Hungarian: Arra ne varrjál gombot. (Don't sew a button on that.)

Same in Dutch (sinaasappel or appelsien) and from Dutch (as far as I know) it was borrowed into many languages, including Russian.

Hungarian has it better: house of sickness!!!
